Hi, I have a problem starting with a few of my plants at 42 days with the Squanchstomper being the worst. 5gal. pots filled with 75% FFOF 25%FFHF. Using ro with 1/4tsp/gal oily cann for Ca/Mg and a extra pinch of epsom because I always get a Mg def. under the cobs. At 33days I gae each pot 3Tbs. Jobes Organic Heirloom Tomato 2-5-3 7%Ca .5%Mg 1.4% S everything has been fine until about 4days ago, some of the top leaes looked a little stressed, I attributed it to a different set of cobs that I think were spaced to close for autos so I turned off the middle lights on the 2 rows of three. Well the larger fan leaves on the sides of the plant that looked stressed started to get worse, looking what I thought was classic P def. Figured I didn't get the new nutes in soon enough so gave them 3cups each of MC 2g/gal. and .5g/gal of BE for a quick shot in the arm of needed nutes. The squanch stomper is getting a lot worse on affected leaves and a touch of progression on 2 other plants. The leaves that aren't affected look great though, except for a few up high on the Squanch it seems to only be the large fans. Soil ph is 6.8, should I wait it out for a wk. with business as usual and see? Now that I've looked at picks it seems there is a Mg. issue going on too, COBS and cataracts play with my eyes. Could this just be Mg problem? Think I should at least give a big drink of Mg. IMG_20210511_222654193.jpgIMG_20210511_231829559.jpgIMG_20210511_232121375.jpgIMG_20210511_232027117.jpg
 
Looks like too much Calcium to me. FFOF and FFHF both have enough Dolomite lime for the entire grow. There is probably calcium in your tap water, You have been adding it regularly. MC is high in Calcium.

Flushing does not work well with FFOF/FFHF It is very difficult to get the balance back when you are this far along in the grow.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
